The young soprano Veronika Dzhioeva is one of the most engaged singers
worldwide. She performs regularly in Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy,

Ms. Dzhioeva graduated from St. Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory, where she studied with
Prof. T. Novichenko (the teacher of Marina Shaguch and Anna Netrebko).

Veronika started her career with the 3rd prize at the Maria
Callas International Competition (Athens, 2005). Her operatic debut was
in 2004 as Mimi in Puccini's "La Boheme" under the direction
of A. Shakhmametyev. Russian music critics began to appreciate her after
she has received the Grand Prix at the VII International Vocal Competition
(Kaliningrad, 2006). The Russian magazine "Culture" awarded her with the
title of "Debut of The Year" for her performing of the role
of Fiordiligi in "Cosi fan tutte" (2006, under the direction of T.
Currentzis). In the choral opera by R. Shchedrin "Boyarynia Morozova",
Veronika sung Princess Urusova to great acclaim. Today Veronika Dzhioeva is a
leading soloist in "Golden triangle" of Russian opera theaters:
Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and
Novosibirsk State Opera as well. To her credit Ms. Dzhioeva has performed such diverse roles as:
La Contessa (Mozart's "Le nozze di Figaro"), Tatiana (Tchaikovsky's
"Eugene Onegin"), Micaela ("Carmen" by Bizet), Violetta ("La
Traviata" by Verdi), Fiordiligi (Mozart's "Cosi fan tutte"),
Elisabetta ("Don Carlo" by Verdi), Mimi and Musetta (Puccini's "La
Boheme"). This bouquet is furthermore decorated by Thais ("Thais" by
Massenet), Zemfira (Rachmaninov's "Aleko"), Marfa ("Tsar's Bride" by
Rimsky-Korsakov), Macbeth ("Macbeth" by Verdi), Maria Stuarda
(Donizetti's "Maria Stuarda") and Butterfly (Puccini's "Madama
Butterfly").

Her most recent highly successful premiere of
Rachmaninov's "Aleko" (staged by M. Trelinskiy) took place in
St. Petersburg and in Baden-Baden under the direction of maestro V.
Gergiev. In October 2010 Veronika
performed Donna Elvira (Mozart's "Don Giovanni" - premiere in Bolshoi
Theater) staged by D. Chernyakov. In April 2011 Veronika performed
Tatiana in "Eugene Onegin" with Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under
the baton of Maestro Mariss Janssons.

Ms. Dzhioeva performs regularly with world stars such as Valeri Gergiev, Mariss
Janssons, Yuri Bashmet, Mikhail Pletnev, Sergei Leiferkus and Anna

Veronika successfully cooperates with Italian theatres including
Teatro Petruzzelli (Bari) and Teatro Comunale (Bologna). She performed a
title role in staging of Donizetti's opera "Maria Stuarda" which passed
with great success in Palermo (Teatro Massimo).

Her impressive concert life is also not to be overlooked. Following soprano parts were sung in
recent seasons: Requiem by Verdi and Mozart, Mahler's 2nd Symphony,
Beethoven's 9th Symphony, "Great Mass" by Mozart (conductor Yu.
Bashmet), and Rachmaninov's poem "The Bells". The performance of
R. Strauss's "Four last songs" (conductor A. Shakhmametyev) became an
important stage in her creative biography. In Veronika's
concert repertoire considerable stress has gone to works of contemporary
composers. Russian audiences have been especially mesmorized by the vocal cycles "Run of
the Time" by Tishchenko and "Weeping of Guitar" by Minkov. Fantasia
"Severing Winter" by young St. Petersburg composer Tanonov, which was
performed in Bologna under the direction of Maestro O. Gioia (Brazil).

Veronika was honored with the prize "Paradise" for performance of Lady
Macbeth's part in joint Russian-French staging of Verdi's opera
"Macbeth". Veronika has been awarded with National Prize of Czech EURO
Pragensis Arse in 2010.

Among numerous records of singer special
attention is paid to album "Opera arias". Dzhioeva's voice has also been used for telefilms "Monte-Cristo" and "Vasil'evskiy Island". Telefilm
of director P. Golovkin "Winter solo of wave", wholly devoted to
creative work of Veronika Dzhioeva, recently appeared.

"After having had her debut as Mimi in Puccini's La
Boheme Veronika immediately attracted attention since we haven't heard
such artistic singers full of deep feelings for a long time. Veronika
is especially gifted in Italian opera - not only because of her voice
and subtle feeling of style but also because of her almost ideal
Italian pronunciation. Her image doesn't contain any drawbacks - if even
there are some they are not noticeable. Veronika is also
majestic in concert, where she can perform songs of different
style one after another. No one can have any doubts that chamber
vocal music is her sphere. When Veronika performed my vocal cycle "Run
of the Time" (poems of A. Akhmatova), I was surprised by the temperature
of her soul penetration into the core of music and by level of
exactness in inflection in such difficult musical text. Veronika arouses
a wish to work with her more and more. Today we have no doubt that
Veronika Dzhioeva as a singer belongs to the whole world." (Boris
Tishchenko, composer, People's artist of Russia)
